Inch Rise is well suited to testing conditions as he showed with a facile victory in a maiden here in March, though that was over three miles and this looks too short. Copy Print has won three races on yielding going but wouldn't mind further rain so goes on the short-list along with Orchard Road, who was seen at his best at Limerick earlier this month though a 9lb rise tempers enthusiasm. KNOCKRAHA PYLON was the subject of a stewards' enquiry after finishing fifth in that latter race where she stayed on when the race was all over. She isn't the most consistent but looks well enough treated to double her winning tally over hurdles if at her best. Kiera Royale is held by the latter on earlier Clonmel form while it remains to be seen what effect a spell over fences has on Dallas Cowboy as he hasn't taken to the bigger obstacles.
